Nagel @ Night is coming up this October and everyone is
pumped! A simple survey was conducted to get the view of Nagel
@ Nagel from students at Nagel. According to the results 80% of
Nagel students attended last year. Students said they loved the
music, dancing, and hanging out with friends. Students did offer
great suggestions to improve Nagel @ Night such as that they
would rather have outdoor activities, a bigger inflatable, and more
drinks and food. Lastly, we asked Nighthawks would you attend
again and the results were obvious. Check out our results!

On the night of September.
16th the Anderson vs. Turpin
game was the only thing that
people in Anderson Township
were talking about. It was the
biggest game either high school
had ever seen. Over 3,800 tickets were sold. In the 4th quarter
Anderson got a lucky break
with an unnecessary hit call
giving Anderson great field
position to take the lead.
Anderson senior Quarterback
Nick Mason threw a 10 yard
touchdown pass to Jarred Cook
in the southeast corner of the
end zone with 7.8 seconds left.
Anderson’s bleachers went
ballistic, everyone in the stu-

dent section jumped out of the
bleachers to wait for the final
seconds, and once Anderson’s
win was secure all the Anderson fans stormed the field! This
loss for Turpin puts them at 2-2
and playing Milford next week
at home. The win for Anderson
puts them at 1-3 and playing
Northwest next week. In the
Turpin, Anderson rivalry this
has been the closest game by
far.

New York Times, this show
isn’t going to be a hit. “Nah; if

Charlie’s Angels is a
reboot on ABC of the original TV series that showed
in 1976-1981. The stars who

Prince(Annie Ilonzeh is also

reboot will be filmed in Miami, Florida. The original
airdate for this series was
September 22, 2011, and it
will air on Thursdays at 8:00
PM. Now that it’s the
21st century the Townsend
agency (agency Charlie’s
angels work for in the TV
series) have more upgraded
material than in the 1970’s
version, even though we
have all different types of
video-conferencing services
they want to keep the identity
of Charlie a secret and also to
make it more like the 1970’s
version, so he still calls by
speaker phone. ABC’s Presi-

dent of entertainment
promises the reboot
of Charlie’s Angels will be “Pure
Candy”, but will you
agree? Check
out Charlie’s Angels on ABC Family
on Thursdays at 8:00

The X Factor
By: Kylyn Peveler
The X Factor is a show that is like mixing America’s Got Talent and American
Idol. There are four judges, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and L.A. Reid.
Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul used to be judges on American Idol but left to make this

talent to America. The auditions were in Los Angeles from September 5th to September 19th.

cable it might be channel three. There were also auditions in Seattle, Newark, Miami, Chicago, and Dallas. There is a poll on the website of The X Factor for who your favorite judge
is, mine is Simon Cowell because he always gives everybody a hard time and is the person
that makes it or breaks it. Don’t forget to watch The X Factor on Fox19 at eight o clock next
